A senior Glencore Plc executive is reported to have told counterparts at Radiant World not to communicate by email, according to WhatsApp messages reviewed by Bloomberg News. The messages are said to have been sent amid a dispute involving Glencore’s iron ore business.

Bloomberg reports that the company’s head of iron ore urges the other side to “say nothing on email,” based on the WhatsApp messages. The account also refers to the executive as being suspended. Seeking Alpha’s coverage points to the same underlying reporting and frames it around a reported $2 billion dispute, though it does not add further verified details beyond the core claim of the email instruction.

Across the outlets, the main difference is emphasis: Bloomberg focuses on the documentary WhatsApp evidence and the reported instruction, while Seeking Alpha highlights the scale of the alleged feud. Both, however, describe the same key allegation about communication via email and identify the parties involved.
